I can't find the Nye play I thought today was the last day to watch it?

[thatdelusionalnerd]

oh my I just finished watching nye… absolute 10/10

I really wish that even if national theatre does remove this, they still reupload it again. this play is gorgeously done and it’d be a shame if more people don’t see it when they can

Saw this on twitter and had to redo it

This is a scene from Nye, the play that Michael Sheen did earlier this year. It’s about Aneurin “Nye” Bevan who was the politician who created the NHS in the UK. This scene is with Jennie Lee, his future wife, played by Sharon Small.

They are both newly elected to Parliament at this point in the play. That ^^ clip follows this one, if you want to see the whole scene (with a little overlap).

Please ask if you want to repost this, thanks! And if you make any gifs, I’d love to be tagged 😊

Some bonus gifs:

(I’m sure I’ll be making more)

I met my hero on Saturday after getting the chance to watch him perform in this fantastic play. MS is literally the only person on earth I'd go to such lengths to meet and he's the only celebrity I'd ever want an autograph from or an interaction with. So grateful to this wonderful man for giving me one of the very best experiences of my life 💜

MS is every bit as lovely as everyone says. He's a goddamn delight and so gracious with his flustered fans. He smells divine too 🤭

Just out of curiosity I checked my Fitbit stats for that magical night. You can literally see the spikes ... The pre-show anticipation, the moment he came out on stage and the moment around midnight when he was at the stage door. Be still my heart 😊

Probably everyone already knows about it, I'm just slow. However, I hope there will be auto-subtitles and I will be able to join in too.

"The play 'Nye' is currently being shown at the National Theatre, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I even doodled two of my favourite parts. Michael Sheen, who is known for his role in Good Omens, is a brilliant actor who listens to his fans, and I am glad to have had the chance to see him perform."

As a non-English native speaker, I prepared a script, because I was too nervous before that. Sound stupid but he still listened to what I said, and I'm really grateful.

Michael sheen in Nye

Oh, this is such a difficult--if not nearly impossible--choice. Both David and Michael were utterly brilliant in their respective roles, but in completely different ways.

Having seen both plays this year (albeit one of them on a screen instead of live), I have to consider each performance in the context of the production. Michael as Aneurin Bevan was the anchor of his play, the central performance around which all the other performances revolved, and a steady presence in the midst of an occasionally chaotic staging. David as Macbeth was a shining light at the center of a taut, intense ensemble in a play that was minimalist in design yet immaculately staged.

The one thing I can say with certainty is that neither production would be the same without their respective performances. Both of them elevated either the material they were given (Michael) or the performances of everyone around them (David). But putting them up against each other is really challenging because they are such wildly different characters and performances.

What I would really love is to see this end in a tie with David and Michael both winning, but I know that isn't likely to happen. But I also know that if one wins and the other doesn't, Michael will be the one celebrating David's win the loudest (and vice-versa). So in thinking of this particular award, I can only think to vote with my heart and feel reassured that Michael and David (and Cush!) are more than deserving of it, regardless of what happens.

What do you all think? Any idea who you are voting for? I'm interested to hear what folks have to say!
